From: Iago on 18 Mar 2010 14:58 I found this code along with it's function on this discussion group. It works great but I want it to populate the text field when the form loads. How can I get the following code on the Form_Load()? fOSUserName() is a defined function. Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) On Error GoTo BeforeUpdate_Err ' Set bound controls to system date and time and current user name Me.DateModified = Now() Me.ModifiedBy = fOSUserName() BeforeUpdate_End: Exit Sub BeforeUpdate_Err: MsgBox Err.Description, vbCritical & vbOKOnly, _ "Error Number " & Err.Number & " Occurred" Resume BeforeUpdate_End End Sub
From: ghetto_banjo on 18 Mar 2010 15:56 You should be able to just copy the same code into the On Load event. Private Sub Form_Load() Me.DateModified = Now() Me.ModifiedBy = fOSUserName() End Sub
From: Linq Adams via AccessMonster.com on 18 Mar 2010 17:19 What is your point in placing it in the Load event? This will only cause the fields in the first record that loads to be changed, and what if that record isn't actually modified? It will now have erroneous information. -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat!

From: Iago on 24 Mar 2010 11:19 The 'modifiedby' field is what I found on the forum, my field is actually called 'User' and I am using it to capture what user is entering data into the form. I want it to populate automatically when the user opens the form. "Linq Adams via AccessMonster.com" wrote: > What is your point in placing it in the Load event?

To do that use the Form's Before_Update Event. Using the Load event means that EVERY user will be shown as the USER in EVERY ROW that is looked at, as well as the ones that do get new data entered.. I'm sure that's not what you really want. as to the different field name, just change me.ModifiedBy to me.User Bob Q > "Linq Adams via AccessMonster.com" wrote: > >> What is your point in placing it in the Load event?
